- dc.description.abstract Temporary work and especially agency work is quite a popular tool for Belgian employers and companies. In 2011 there were 547.259 temporary agency workers, which were placed by 1.356 temporary work agencies. So more than 12% of the active population was a temporary agency worker, which seems to be quite a lot. However less than 100.000 persons worked more than 65 days of the year (which entitle them a right on an end of the year bonus) as a temporary agency worker. Although it is not allowed to discriminate temporary workers and the law tries to protect them at a decent level, their situation is often not ideal, since most contracts have very short terms of only one week, which are renewed or prolonged after every week, giving the temporary worker very little job stability.
